Business Outlook

Pros

Was able to find a role that benefited my career. Good compensation. Recruiters stay from beginning to end of contract and truly want your success.

Cons

Because of contract positions there is latency between recruiters and contract company. Hiring process was confusing between different org paperwork, and contract owner not clearly defining the responsibilities and requirements for the role.

Doesn't care about customers or employees, Top heavy new management with a (value creation group- actually in control)

Field service technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The teams in the field are excellent, over coming the day to day issues and working well with each other

Cons

New owners with their data crunching value group that has no idea how to run a multi product service group. employees are jumping ship and customers are turning away. actively making goals so high now one gets a bonus. No respect for work times, meeting early in the morning or late at night, as upper management cant be bothered to have 2-3 meetings for the different countries. if they don't change directions quickly this company will be worthless
